Yep, about 20 or 30 years ago it became quite common for engineering driven companies to be taken over by the MBA's. Lots of such companies fell on their butts and ended up having divisions sold off and all sorts of accounting driven measures. Wrecked lots of companies and lots of lives.
A company built on an engineering driven concept, suddenly being turned into an accounting driven strategy is a prescription for disaster. As with all general rules, there are exceptions of course. It depends on the companies help at the time of the accountants take over.
